Sunshine

Director: Danny Boyle

2007 / 107min / 35mm

“Sunshine is the film that almost broke Danny Boyle, though it might also be the pinnacle of his ambitious, wide-ranging career, a sci-fi adventure that squeezes every dollar of its robust budget but is told with the indie fiendishness that had put him on the map. It sees a glittery international ensemble including Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, and Hiroyuki Sanada try to save the world by rebooting our dying sun; as they get closer and closer, Alex Garland’s script fleshes out how that heavenly body wreaks havoc on the psyches of the puny humans trying to contend with it.”—David Sims, Blank Check
